The papers detail financial and attorney–client information for more than 214,488 offshore entities.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The documents, some dating back to the 1970s,[7] were created by, and taken from, former Panamanian offshore law firm and corporate service provider Mossack Fonseca.[8][9][10] SZ asked the ICIJ for help because of the amount of data involved. In October 2020, German authorities issued an international arrest warrant for the two founders of the law firm at the core of the tax evasion scandal exposed by the Panama Papers.

Minoan civilization
Map of Minoan Crete The Minoan civilization was an Aegean Bronze Age civilization that arose on the island of Crete and flourished from approximately the 27th century BC to the 15th century BC.[1] It was rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century through the work of British archaeologist Arthur Evans. Will Durant referred to it as "the first link in the European chain."[2] The early inhabitants of Crete settled as early as 128,000 BC, during the Middle Paleolithic age.[3][4] It was not until 5000 BC that the first signs of advanced agriculture appeared, marking the beginning of civilization. Overview[edit] The term "Minoan" was coined by Arthur Evans after the mythic "king" Minos.[5] Minos was associated in Greek myth with the labyrinth, which Evans identified with the site at Knossos. Chronology and history[edit] Rather than associate absolute calendar dates for the Minoan period, archaeologists use two systems of relative chronology. History[edit] Geography[edit]
Blog: Natural Language Processing with R Programming Books
Natural Language Processing is a key Data Science skill. Learn how to can expand your R programming knowledge with Text Analytics. It is my firm conviction that Natural Language Processing/Text Analytics is a must-have skill for any practicing Data Scientist. Not surprisingly, I am often asked by students of our Bootcamp, folks that I mentor on Data Science and my LinkedIn contacts about the subject of Text Analytics. Text Analytics with R for Students of Literature is quite simply the best, most straightforward introduction to working with text that I have found. Taming Text is the next stop on the Text Analytics journey. The CRAN NLP Task View illustrates the wide-ranging Text Analytics support for the R programmer . Introduction to Information Retrieval for Text Analytics while focused primarily on the problem of search, nevertheless contains a wealth of theory and understanding (e.g., the Vector Space Model) to take the R programmer to the next level.
